About Nanomsg

The latest release of nanomsg is 1.1.5.

nanomsg is a socket library that provides several common communication
patterns.
It aims to make the networking layer fast, scalable, and easy to use.
Implemented in C, it works on a wide range of operating systems with no further
dependencies.

A new project, nng, is underway
as reimplementation of these same protocols.
nng is wire compatible with nanomsg, and offers a number of additional
advanced capabilities.
Although nng itself is still in pre-release state, we are encouraging
people using or considering using nanomsg to look at nng.

The communication patterns, also called "scalability protocols", are basic
blocks for building distributed systems.
By combining them you can create a vast array of distributed applications.
The following scalability protocols are currently available:
